Kitchen little things (2)

for our tight-skinned cherries - the same as picking with a pin, fingers in juice, the neck of the bottle for our small cherries is great, the cherry is large in the roller, poke with a blunt end of a skewer - the berry wrinkles, with a sharp one - it slides past the bone

maybe someone is very clever - boast, we will rejoice

[Irsha]

Irsha, find a plastic bottle cap and cut a hole for it, for your small cherry, business then ...

I have a hand-held bone-squeegee, cheap, dexterous in hands, bought in Galamart, plastic, plump, the type of knockout is the same as that of Teskomovskaya



very comfortably

Peace be with you bakers!
Well, we're in Moscow and Toronto, we don't have Galamart - so a bottle and a stick

Uh-huh, with a stick and a rope ...

early soviet bone scavenger, who has - take care

And I have one.
I also like it very much.

About two years ago, I bought such a bone remover on the market for cheap, so they are still in use, they have not disappeared anywhere. But to be honest, he is not very good for me.

I bought at the market for cheap

what is now being sold in the markets is Chinese, which quickly fails and there is no spring

Soviet served me for 25 years (lost when moving), market cheapness is not suitable at all

I have this, still a shovel period, as many as 2 copies are lying around in a box. I don't like her. The first spray from her is mamane fire. And I don't like the hole through and through, the cherry is all torn.
I easily and cheerfully cleaned up to two buckets of cherries with an ordinary hairpin in the evening
Here's the best fit for me

Everything is clean and fast. You just have to get the hang of it

regular hairpin

I can't even imagine how to pick out the bones with a hairpin ..
When my grandmother was alive, she always made jam with seeds. And later my mother bought a bone scraper, the one on the photo of Irsha, Soviet times .. it was used all her life and my mother still uses it ..

I also love the hairpin, but it is good for a fleshy scarlet juicy cherry (a cherry-cherry hybrid), where the bone itself does not sit tightly. And in dark shallow cherries, a hairpin will not work.

I can't even imagine how to pick out the bones with a hairpin ..

Very beautiful.) You take a cherry in one hand, a hairpin (I do not even bend it with a loop, but use it as it is) in the other, stick a round "loop" into the hole from the tail and, as if with a spoon, pry the bone. The bone easily crawls out, you shake it off into a substituted vessel, you throw a cherry in another.) If suddenly there are worms, then you can clearly see the freeloaders.))

You can also use the extreme tooth of a regular fork.
When my friend and her daughters and I remove the bones from cherries, there are obviously not enough bone removers for everyone, so we adapted with a fork.
It turns out pretty well too.

This is exactly what happens. It doesn't matter whether the bone is big or small.
In my shop bone pusher, the bones were not always crawled through. The cherries were very large on one tree, and the seeds were accordingly.
And the hairpin does not matter what size the bone is.The main thing is to try and get the hang of it. And there it will go

The main thing is to try and get the hang of it.

That's for sure! There are no summer cottages and we do not make preparations. But somehow they decided to make pies with cherries. I read about picking out the bones with a hairpin and, without experience, in ten minutes they picked a bunch of cherries for the filling.

Yeah. The eyes are afraid, but the hands do

I can't do it with a hairpin.
I use a safety pin.
It removes perfectly from cherries of any size. Only the cherry is desirable to slightly squeeze from the "poles" before removing the stone.
So the bone breaks off from the pulp from the inside and comes out easier.
I freeze such cherries.

Here I found a video of how to make a bone scraper with your own hands.

I will put a hairpin in the cherry in the place where the tail is attached. And the tips of the hairpin are very comfortable in the palm of your hand.
There will be no extra hole in the cherry, which means that a minimum of juice will flow out.
And the pin, it seems to me, is too small and harder to hold in the hand, and even wet from the juice. But that's my opinion

[k @ wka]

k @ wka, but can I photograph the process?

Yes, I would love to, but there is no cherry
Although, schA I'll look in the freezer, it seems they were with cherry pits

No, they are unfortunately already cleaned too

Cherries, cherries .... we have this deficit .. we must go to the farmers for it. And time and effort are just barely enough
We'll have to be content with ice cream from the RCS store.

and I take out with a filial knife. On top of a small incision and with a claw, a claw I take out. From 200 gr of cherries there was juice max 50 gr. But I have 1 cm claws

We'll have to be content with ice cream from the RCS store.

But you have no problems with pulling out the bones

I have where to put the cherries. What apricot, what cherries - wooooon

And for me, apricots are a pipe dream. I would have found something to do with it. I love them very much, but ours don't grow here, practically. In rare years frost does not occur during flowering.
And in a store or in the market to buy ..... prices are unrealistic. If only the hunter is slightly knocked down, from half a kilogram

[k @ wka]

k @ wka, Galina, lived in the Amur region, and there in winter it reached -50. In 1992, they began to give us 10 acres of land. They mastered virgin lands, invested labor and funds, but there was also a return. I really wanted to grow an apricot, planted 2 trees, bloomed well in spring. And there was no harvest, but still they tasted it, really liked it. Here in the south, it's a pole. And suddenly on TV they talk about growing apricots. It turns out that in order to get a harvest, you need to make sure that flower buds are laid at different times and then they will bloom on the tree at an early time. If the first flowers freeze, then the next ones can set. In June, with an interval of 10 days, I cut off young shoots by 1/3 three times (I did not know about tea at that time).
The next year we harvested more than 20 liters of apricots, all the neighbors came to watch, no one believed that they could be grown in the Amur Region.

everything is true. my grandfather taught me this way

I will put a hairpin in a cherry at the point of attachment of the tail

hands are wet anyway

Hands and from the Soviet pusher are wet.)) Only more trouble.

But the guy somehow strangely holds the hairpin. Ineffective. With this retention, you have to work with a brush and it will be uncomfortable while sitting. I hold the hairpin like a spoon, tail out. Then the fingers work, not the wrist, and in general the range of motion is less.

Hands and from the Soviet pusher are wet.

if the berry is inserted and removed with any convenient tweezers, then the fingers are completely dry

current reality = for example, Tescoma PRESTO Strawberry Core and Ponytail Remover

I have this - very convenient to separate ponytails from strawberries - although fingers are still in strawberry juice
And it is convenient to remove some stains on fruits and berries during processing

in general, this tweezer is so convenient! I put the slices of bananas for drying on trays, bananas are slippery, in general it is convenient to put any other wet or sticky pieces-slices on the trays for drying

if the berry is inserted and removed with any convenient tweezers, then the fingers are completely dry

current reality = for example, Tescoma PRESTO Strawberry Core and Ponytail Remover

but I don’t like him ...

I like this one for strawberries and tomatoes ... and remove any spots, spoilage ...

I am looking for a fish scaler, someone used such a teskomovsky, my favorite color ...

But do not take it because of the color, and suddenly an uncomfortable little thing, I have not yet understood the principle of action. The teeth and pocket ... the teeth are not bent, "vague doubts gnaw at me" about the convenience of this tool

Added Sunday 17 Jul 2016 07:43 PM

Maybe this one is better, but it's not green

Fish scalers here:

Fish scalers

Electric fish scaler

Fish scalers and scissors LuxFish (SP, Ukraine)

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, thanks, I have already found this LuxFish in St. Petersburg, otherwise it is simply not clear what and where to buy, there are no normal fish scalers anywhere, but here it is!

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, Luxfish highly recommend! I rarely clean fish (we eat it a little), but it's so cool! I have ceased to be afraid to buy whole carcasses. Now I also want to buy my husband's mother-in-law and sister.

otherwise it's just not clear what and where to buy

I would have asked! I put the Bread Maker on this LuxFish several years ago. And recently I received gratitude for the advice even from fishermen from the Barents Sea, who seem to have nothing to surprise - they also organized a joint venture there.

[Larissa]

Larissa, then there was nothing to it, then I will forget, then not before, and I myself have been hanging around here for less than a year, and then I suddenly remembered ...

thanks for the advice even from fishermen from the Barents Sea

Great! From the pictures I really liked the set, there are cool scissors, they ask for 900 rubles for a set, normal, from my point of view, quite the price!

And if someone does not live in St. Petersburg, can you order a fish cleaner via the Internet? I would take three at once. I would be grateful for the link.

[* Tanya *]

* Tanya *, these fish scalers are very often sold in shops for fishermen.

Yes? Our town is really small, but there is one shop. I'll try to run away tomorrow. Alevtina

I bought goods today (if only my husband did not kick out of the house)

The picture from the smartphone is sideways, sorry.
We will try to cook soft cheese, not soft cheese, and butter.

[Ksyusha]

Wow, Ksyushawhat a wealth!

[Anya]

Anya, Thank you. What more

Cool shopping for Husband to urgently give out a sandwich with homemade butter
When will we have these sets?

[Natalia]

Natalia, Thank you.
At the expense of whipping butter, I doubted whether to take or another crap will fall. Today I completely forgot about the cream in the store, as well as about the pasta 🍝, for which I came, so I can probably try it already next week.

Then tell us, aha?

So of course I'll tell you
